*16–72. If the slider block A is moving downward at vA = 4 m/s

Problem 16–72
If the slider block A is moving downward at vA = 4 m/s*, determine the *velocities of blocks B and C at the instant shown.

In this video, we solve Problem 16–72 using the principles of rigid body kinematics and *general plane motion*.

The solution is presented in a *clear, step-by-step manner*, beginning with the given velocity of slider block *A*. The analysis then proceeds by:

Identifying the geometric configuration of blocks A*, *B*, and *C
Applying the relative velocity equation for interconnected rigid bodies
Relating the motion of slider A to the velocities of blocks B and C
Determining the velocity of block B
Determining the velocity of block C
Constructing a clear velocity diagram for visualization
Understanding how the motion of one slider influences connected blocks in general plane motion

This problem is fundamental for understanding the kinematics of multi-slider mechanisms and the *general plane motion of rigid bodies*.

This video is especially useful for:

Mechanical Engineering students
Engineering Mechanics (Dynamics) courses
Rigid Body Kinematics
Slider–link and multi-slider mechanism analysis
General plane motion analysis
